And then there were none

Our apartment had 4 nasty ceiling fixtures. Three were the $5 builder-grades, one looks like it was the original fixture from when the building was constructed in 1958.

One by one, we've slowly upgraded the builder-grades into a style that is a little less generic and a little bit more us:

1. Kitchen triplet (took 2 tries, but we finally found a light that we liked, was cheap, and actually fit into the space)
2. Bedroom zen (also $5, but much more our style)
3. Dining room bistro (it took us a year to find a light that we liked, and another 6 months to install it)

Now, after 2 years, we finally bid adieu to the last nastiness. Say hello to our hallway shine. (And yes, we still need to paint the ceiling and walls.)



(Look familiar?!? Yes, it the same fixture as our kitchen. We like it that much)
